A. Domain

A domain is the site's permanent address. This tutorial covers picking a name, registering it through Namecheap, and understanding what you're actually buying — including why keeping the domain separate from your host matters from day one.

B. Hosting Templ.io version  |  Kinsta version

Managed WordPress hosting gives the site its own resources on real infrastructure, without handing you a server to run. This tutorial sets up a host from scratch — account, site, SSL, and all the first-day configuration — so nothing is left half-done when it's over.

C. Point Domain to Hosting Templ.io version  |  Kinsta version

The domain and the host start out knowing nothing about each other. This tutorial connects them by updating DNS records at Namecheap to point to the host — the step that makes the domain actually load the site.

D. WP Users

WordPress has a full user system with roles that control what each account can do. This tutorial covers creating users, setting roles, and knowing which settings actually matter — including the ones that affect security from the start.

E. Domain Based Email Fastmail version  |  Tuta version  |  Zoho Mail version

Email at the site's own domain reads more professional than a free address and takes less than an hour to set up. This tutorial covers connecting a provider, adding the DNS records, and sending a first message from the domain — with a separate version for each of the three providers taught here.

A. Navigating WordPress

The WordPress dashboard has a lot of menu items and most of them aren't needed yet. This tutorial maps out what's there, what each section does, and where to go for the things that come up most often — so the dashboard stops feeling like a guessing game.

B. Settings

WordPress ships with more settings than a new site needs. This tutorial goes through the ones that actually matter — site title, permalink structure, timezone, reading settings — and flags the ones to leave alone, so the site is configured correctly before anything gets built on top of it.

C. Media Library

The media library is where every image, video, and file uploaded to WordPress lives. This tutorial covers uploading, organizing, reusing files across the site, and the settings that affect how images are stored and resized — the things that matter before the library gets full.

D. Themes

A theme controls the base layer of how a WordPress site looks and behaves. This tutorial covers how themes work, what they actually control once a builder like Bricks is in the picture, and how to install one — so there's no confusion about what the theme is doing versus what Bricks is doing.

E. Plugins

Plugins add features to WordPress without touching the core. This tutorial covers how plugins work, how to find and install one, what to watch out for when choosing them, and how to keep the site from getting weighed down by ones that aren't pulling their weight.

F. Widgets

Widgets drop reusable content blocks into areas the theme defines — sidebars, footers, and other regions outside the main page canvas. This tutorial covers what widgets are, where they show up, and how to add and arrange them — including how that changes once Bricks is running the show.

A. Pages & Posts

Pages and posts are the two content types every WordPress site is built from. This tutorial covers the difference between them, when to use each, and how the WordPress editor works — the foundation everything else in this chapter builds on.

B. Nested Pages

WordPress lets pages exist inside other pages, creating a parent-child structure that organizes the site into sections and sub-sections. This tutorial covers setting up that hierarchy and how it affects URLs, navigation, and the way content relates to itself across the site.

C. Cats & Tags

Categories and tags sort posts so readers and search engines can find related content. This tutorial covers the difference between the two, how to set them up, and how they feed into archive pages, filters, and navigation — before any of those things get built.

D. Menus

Menus are how visitors move around the site. This tutorial covers building a navigation menu in WordPress, adding pages, posts, categories, and custom links to it, and assigning it to the right location — so the navigation is in place before Bricks starts building around it.

E. Bricks Builder

Bricks is the visual builder this course uses to design every page. This tutorial covers the canvas, the element panel, how templates and global styles work, and the parts of Bricks that come up constantly — enough to build a full page from scratch and understand what's happening at each step.

F. ACF & Code Snippets

Advanced Custom Fields adds structured data to posts and pages — things like ratings, links, and custom text fields that WordPress doesn't have by default. Code Snippets makes that data usable without editing theme files. This tutorial covers both together, since the two build on each other: fields created in ACF become data that code snippets can pull into Bricks layouts and anywhere else on the site.

A. LLMs & GenAI

AI writing tools can draft outlines, punch up rough ideas, and speed up research — but they also produce generic output fast if there's no direction behind the prompt. This tutorial covers using LLMs as a real part of a content workflow: where they save time, where they fall short, and how to keep the result from reading like it came from a template.

B. Envato Elements

Stock footage, music, graphics, and templates — Envato Elements is a subscription that covers most of what a content creator needs in one place. This tutorial covers navigating the library, licensing, what's actually worth using, and how to pull assets into a video or design without making the final result look like everyone else's.

C. AI for Voiceovers and Music

AI voiceovers and music generation mean narration and original tracks without a microphone or a music license. This tutorial covers the tools that produce usable output, the settings that make a voice sound less robotic, and how to fit AI audio into a video edit without it standing out for the wrong reasons.

D. DaVinci Resolve

DaVinci Resolve is a professional video editor available free, with no watermark and no time limit. This tutorial covers importing footage, cutting a timeline, adding titles and music, color correcting, and exporting a finished video — enough to take a screen recording from raw to ready to publish.

A. Before Making Money Online

Most content about making money online skips the part where it explains what's actually involved. This tutorial covers the realistic timeline, what "passive income" actually looks like in practice, and the difference between a site that earns and one that just has monetization turned on — before any of the specific methods are introduced.

B. Affiliate Marketing

Affiliate marketing pays a commission when a reader clicks a link and makes a purchase. This tutorial covers joining programs, placing links without compromising reader trust, what disclosure actually requires, and the difference between recommendations that convert and ones that feel like ads — including how this site handles it.

C. Brand Deals

Brand deals pay a flat rate for sponsored content — a post, a video mention, or a dedicated review. This tutorial covers how outreach works, what brands actually look for in a smaller site, how to price a deal without underselling, and what a sponsorship agreement should cover so nothing gets left ambiguous.

D. E-Commerce

Selling directly from the site cuts out the middleman and keeps the margin. This tutorial covers setting up a product, handling payments, and the practical side of running an online store on WordPress — including what to expect from WooCommerce, what the overhead looks like, and where the real time goes once orders start coming in.
